Ohio Republican Senate Candidate's In-Laws Take Out Ad Against Him!

Ping! Ping! Ping! Image from source.

My brother is going to be tickled by this one. Of all the races beyond the presidential one, the Sherrod Brown/Josh Mendel fight is what gets to my brother. Brown is very popular with liberals, and has honestly seemed to care for his constituency. Mandel--by all accounts I've heard--(and I'm from Ohio) is a twerpy weasel. Apparently some in his family think so too. And I find it particularly ironic that a guy who blows up my gaydar is openly, brazenly homophobic. Ah, irony.[Excerpt]Josh Mandel's In-Laws Call Him Out on Anti-Gay Stance in Newspaper Ad

What does it say about the character of a candidate when he can't even
garner the support of his own relatives? This is a question that many
Ohioans should be left to ponder, as it has been revealed that Mandel's
own family does not support his anti-gay views. In an advertisement
taken out in the Cleveland Jewish News, Mandel's wife's cousins
published an open letter in which they publicly lambasted him for his
stance on same-sex marriages, gays and lesbians serving in the military,
and general anti-inclusive beliefs. . .
